Removed a homelink controller from a full sized overhead console and cleaned it up. Installed the custom-mounting plate for my (also custom) Bussmann relay box. Wired in the relay box and tested to verify all was working properly. Located a template for flushmount Rigid Dually D2's on each side of the bumper and then drilled and cut the template from the bumper. Once done I painted the bare steel at the cut-out points and am now letting it dry overnight.

In cab wiring (for their switch, other switches, and a gauge) will have to come first, as my test switch is a bit unmanageable in the dark under the hood on nights wtih sub-freezing temps. I'm looking at next weekend if the weather permits -- and I might get both Rigid 10" LED bars done, up front, too. At least that's the plan.

After 10 years of my amp being installed and having some minor issues with 10 year old wiring, I trimmed off an inch of wire on each end of the the hot and the ground and re-wired and tightened the lugs down and everything has returned to normal for the stereo.

The next amp I wire will be done allot different (in a different truck).

i ran around with a buudy of mine today truck shopping for him. I think we found him a truck. also stopped and bought a black chrome exhaust tip for mine and put it on. I like it. next is to figure out how to mount some Trucklite HID LED lights i picked up. not sure how im gonna do that.

The best part was the light came with a whole light harness set (lights included). My left tail light had a turn signal out, so I just used one of the lights from the new harness (didn't need it, just the casing broke). Two fer one!

My old one broke when I backed into a cut tree limb that I couldn't see out the rear view mirror while turning around on a trail. Up in the mountains hunting...

Hmmm let's see. Started a work list and it might not get that far in. I actually had the thought of getting a new to me truck. Kate hates the body style and it'd be pointless for me to get another truck this close to deployment. Oh well. Work list is as follows:

Lol I almost wish. I decided not to get my truck up here yet. Too much to have it shipped like my dad wants. I don't know what I'm gonna do though. It almost feels like new truck time to me but, I'm actually trying to save most of my 1751.68$ a month lol. Doing kinda good this month
